Learning languages while having a little kid :) This May my little son was born :) Well, he is the long expected one and I was surely very happy (don't get me wrong, I still am :D) However, what I didn't see coming was an absolute lack of time for myself. For some reason, I imagined that my maternity leave would be kind of a vacation :) 1.5 years in a "work-free" paradise (in Russia it could last up to 3 years actually). Nothing like it, I must tell :) I thought that I'd have plenty of time to practice the languages I'm learning. For example, while this little ball of cuteness is asleep (too bad, that happens almost never :D) At the beginning I got really upset, looking back to good old days when I was my own master and there was no "baby boss" in sight :D But finally I managed to pull myself together and decided that it was high time to learn some time management tricks :) As a result, now I have an opportunity to write this short entry :) Unfortunately, I still don't manage to have a proper conversational exchange. So far I chat with my language exchange partners only over the voice messages. Better than nothing, I believe :) Thank you in advance for your corrections (and maybe some advice on how to keep on language learning track while being occupied with a little human :) )
